In How to Have a Good Day, economist and former McKinsey partner Caroline Webb shows readers how to use recent findings from behavioral economics, psychology, and neuroscience to transform our approach to everyday working life. Advances in these behavioral sciences are giving us ever better understanding of how our brains work, why we make the choices we do, and what it takes for us to be smart and savvy. But it's not always been easy to see how to apply these insights in the workplace – until now. In How to Have a Good Day, Webb explains how three big scientific ideas can help us be at our best every day. She shows us exactly how to apply this science to our plans, tasks and conversations, in step-by-step guidance that allows us to: – Set better priorities – Make the hours go further – Turn every interaction into a success – Strengthen our personal impact – Be resilient in the face of setbacks – Sustain our energy over the course of the day Webb teaches us how to be at our best under pressure, and gives us specific tools to tackle common work challenges – from conflict with colleagues, to dull meetings and packed inboxes. Filled with stories of people who have used Webb's insights to boost their job satisfaction and performance at work, How to Have a Good Day is the book so many people wanted when they finished Nudge, Blink and Thinking Fast and Slow, and were looking for practical ways to apply this fascinating science to their own lives and careers. A remarkable and much needed book, How to Have a Good Day firmly delivers on its promise, showing us all how to have a lifetime of good days. 'Wise, fun and humane. The best behavioural self-help book by far. Everyone should read it.' - Cass R. Sunstein, co-author of Nudge

To call this simply a book of sermons does not do it justice. They are sermons—preached over a thirty-five-year period—to differing congregations, but they are also lessons on life and living. Biblically based to be sure, but the scriptures are filtered through a mind steeped in the classics, open to what’s going on in the world, and not afraid to raise questions that challenge the very faith that is being preached. Although Rev. Starnes is known for his preaching skills, he is primarily a writer, who, as someone says, “knows how to string words together.” A note worthy comment made when considering his book is what one said: “He writes for the ear.”

For most of his life, author Terry Gordon found expressing his thoughts and feelings almost impossible. It could have been because of a lack of self-confidence or simply because no one was there to listen. This was where author Terry Gordon found himself after his mother died when he was twelve. In his book, Every Day’s a Good Day, Gordon shares his struggle to survive. When a note Gordon wrote—expressing that he could no longer cope in the world anymore—flew from his shirt pocket just as a gentle breeze passed over, he took it as a sign that prevented him from stepping in front of a train. He was only thirteen. Life doesn’t automatically get better when you write things down, but it’s a way to get a grasp on those events that trigger your depression and even rage. To receive love, respect, and understanding, you must first give the same. This memoir tells how one person overcame a life of adversity and despair to become better person. Despite what seems like hopelessness, there is a reason to go on.
